Orlando’s theme parks are bustling with construction as Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando prepare to open new attractions in the coming years.
Universal Orlando Resort started working on Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift months ago, and from Chopper 2, the progress is visible.
Trucks were rolling and crews were hard at work on Friday at Universal Studios Florida for Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift, a new high-speed coaster opening sometime next year.
Similar sights can be seen down the road at SeaWorld Orlando, where they continue working on their new indoor ride, SeaQuest: Legends of the Deep, a suspended-track dark attraction opening this year.
“I can’t tell you when it’s opening. It’s coming really soon.
